Republican lawmakers have “lost track” of their job, according to state Rep. Nicole Collier (D-Fort Worth), after putting a vote on redistricting before a vote on flood relief and emergency preparedness legislation.

Collier spoke with COURIER Texas on Wednesday morning as she was being held at the Texas House chamber for over two days. She refused to comply with an order from House Speaker Dustin Burrows, who required House Democrats to sign permission slips and have a police escort in order to leave the State Capitol.
